The furor over the revelation that former Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton used her private email account linked from her private email
server at her home continues to grow. It is actually quite telling that
there’s no long line of folks speaking on behalf of Hillary Clinton in
this episode. You have to wonder if the liberal progressive media will
be able to keep this quiet – it’s not like the Jonathan Gruber case. And
just to reiterate, here is chapter and verse regarding Clinton’s alleged crimes:

President Obama is now blatantly
breaking the law in an effort to ban one of the most popular types of
ammunition for the AR-15 semi-automatic weapon, and the timing comes
just before a massive amount of supply of the bullets is due to
arrive in the U.S., according to Gun Owners of America Chief Counsel
Michael Hammond.

Last month, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives,
or ATF, announced it was planning to fast-track a ban on 5.56 mm M855
ammunition through executive action.

Hammond said the timing is not a coincidence.

“There is a massive backlog of M855 ammunition from NATO, which was
about to come onto the American market as a result of the fact NATO is
being encouraged to go from lead to copper ammunition,” Hammond said.

“This action, if it were successful, would [make illegal] the sale
and possession of that to individuals in America of this massive
backlog, which is coming on line from a government surplus.”

President Barack Obama launched a rhetorical assault on guns in one
of the most gun friendly states in the nation while speaking at a town
hall event in Columbia, South Carolina, Friday.

“As long as you can go in some neighborhoods and it is easier for you
to buy a firearm than it is for you to buy a book, there are
neighborhoods where it is easier for you to buy a handgun and clips than
it is for you to buy a fresh vegetable, as long as that’s the case,
we’re going to continue to see unnecessary violence,” Obama said in a
response to a question at the town hall meeting at Benedict College.

Both of these women were
members of the Christian Missions of Many Lands. They were captured in Kengkok,
Laos on 27 Oct along with Lloyd Oppel and Samuel
Mattix. The men were taken north but the women were tied together and
burned to death on or about 2 Nov. They were listed as
POW-MIA for several years until the house they were kept in was located. Their
remains were recovered and returned to their families.

In the early afternoon of the day of the C5A
flight, Twila entered the doorway of my office at DAO (Defense Attache
Office of the American Embassy) TSN and stated that she was leaving
shortly to accompany the orphans and would not be back. She stated how
sorry she was that I wouldn't be going. I don't recollect what I said,
but she turned to go out the door, then paused, turned around, looked
at me, but without saying anything more, left. I could see the sadness
that had enveloped her face, and detected tears in her eyes. A few
hours later, she was dead.

On Friday February 13 at 4:00 pm, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms released a proposal
to ban commonly used M855 "green tip" AR-15 ammunition under the guise
of law enforcement safety. The same day the proposal was released, on a
Friday of a three day holiday weekend, ATF opened up a shortened 30-day
period for the public to submit comments about the new regulation.

But
it turns out, ATF has been working on a ban of AR-15 "green-tip"
ammunition for quite some time and has already issued the ban in its
new, 2014 Regulation Guide. For reference, ATF Regulation Guides come
out approximately every ten years.

When you take a look at the 2005 ATF Regulation Guide,
you'll see an exemption for AR-15 "green-tip" ammunition, which means
it exempted from the definition of "armor piercing" and therefore is
legal on the federal level.

The Justice Department reportedly will bring criminal corruption
charges against Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey, charging him with
using his Senate office to push the business interests of a donor and
friend in exchange for gifts.

People briefed on the case say
Attorney General Eric Holder approved prosecutors’ request to proceed
with charges, CNN reported Friday. An announcement could come within
weeks.

In American higher education of the past forty years, I have observed
two American histories, and two American literatures – which teach
different American ideals and values, resulting in different societies
and different vision of what it means to be an American. Today we have a
Northern history and a Southern history; we have a Northern literature
and a Southern literature. As I write, there is no consensus, nor has
there been for two centuries. The Northern perspective is dominant, even
though it is an aberration and even though it has become increasingly
intolerant. If you don’t like the Northern/Southern dichotomy, then use a
Lincolnian vision of America versus a Jeffersonian vision of American.

Plan
to attend author Keith Jone’s lecture, “The 1865 Prisoner Exchange”
which will discuss the nearly 10,000 Northern men passing through Gen.
Hoke’s lines to enemy lines at the NE Cape Fear River. Though initially
refused by the enemy, Hoke’s pleas for humanity to enemy commanders
obtained a special cartel to effect the exchange of prisoners no better
fed than Hoke’s men.

Also
discussed with be Grant and Lincoln’s policy which allowed Northern
prisoners to languish and die in Southern prisons as medicine and food
were blockaded or destroyed by Northern armies. And a higher percentage
of Southern men died in Northern prisons than the reverse, and despite
the ready access to medicines and plentiful food in the North.

Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) has reintroduced legislation to do
away with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

Sensenbrenner,
a senior Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, said the policies
under ATF's jurisdiction could be easily incorporated into other
agencies. Moreover, he argued, the ATF has become embroiled in too many
controversies in recent years, like the botched "Fast and Furious"
gun-tracking operation.

"The ATF is a scandal-ridden, largely
duplicative agency that lacks a clear mission. Its 'Framework' is an
affront to the Second Amendment and yet another reason why Congress
should pass the ATF Elimination Act," Sensenbrenner said in a statement.

A Republican state senator in Arizona proposed legislation this week
that would end a ban on sawed-off shotguns, silencers and nunchakus in
the state.

Sen. Kelli Ward (R-Lake Havasu City), a prolific gun
rights legislator, introduced the proposal as an amendment to a separate
bill aimed at restoring firearm ownership rights to felons when a judge
determines they have served their time.

Claiming the “ban on the quintessential militia arm of the modern day
defies the protections our Constitution guarantees,” the legal team led
by attorney Stephen D. Stamboulieh filed a sur-reply
February 27 in the case of plaintiff Jay Aubrey Isaac Hollis against
Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr. and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives Director B. Todd Jones. The additional reply was
in response to “defendants’ reply to plaintiff’s response in opposition
to defendants’ motion to dismiss, or in the alternative, for summary
judgment.”

Hollis, acting individually and as trustee of a revocable living trust, is suing Holder and Jones
in their official capacities for administering, executing and enforcing
“statutory and regulatory provisions [that] generally act as an
unlawful de facto ban on the transfer or possession of a machine gun manufactured after May 19, 1986.”

The other states that joined Texas in the lawsuit are: Alabama, Arizona,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine,
Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, North
Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah,
West Virginia, Wisconsin.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a motion for discovery on
Thursday to investigate whether the Obama Administration misrepresented
actions taken under President Obama’s executive orders granting amnesty
to illegal immigrants. Governor Greg Abbott and Lt. Governor Dan Patrick
quickly issued statements of support of the call for an investigation.
The issue revolves around admissions by the Administration that tens of
thousands of work permits have already been issued to illegal
immigrants, a direct contradiction to facts presented in federal court.

“In an apparent attempt to quickly execute President Obama’s
unlawful, unconstitutional amnesty plan, the Obama Administration
appears to have already been issuing expanded work permits, in direct
contradiction to what they told a federal judge previously in this
litigation,” said General Paxton in a press release obtained by Breitbart Texas.
“The circumstances behind this must be investigated, and the motion we
seek would help us determine to what extent the Administration might
have misrepresented the facts in this case.”

A new bombshell report
from Politico found that House Speaker John Boehner had several days of
secret negotiations with Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, the recently
emboldened former Speaker, leading up to his decision to flip-flop and
fund President Obama’s executive amnesty—including a pre-hashed out deal
to use the hoopla around Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s
Tuesday address to Congress over Iran’s nuclear ambitions as political
cover to sneak in the extraordinarily controversial vote. Even with the
bombshell report, however, Boehner’s office continues to deny any deal
took place.

As you will recall from a late-February GRNC Alert,
Bloomberg's most recent anti-gun acquisition (that saved it from
insolvency due to lack of state-level support) North Carolinians Against
Gun Violence (NCGV) are planning to honor criminals killed by other
criminals in an effort to promote gun control policies.

Those plans were interrupted by weather, but their "Vigil Against Guns" has now been rescheduled for Thursday, March 12, 7 pm, at Sheperds House Church, 107 N Driver Street in Durham.

Attracting National Attention

Bloomberg's dishonest attempt to blame law-abiding Americans for violence
committed by criminals against other criminals is attracting attention
outside of NC. Writer and guns rights advocate David Codrea has covered the issue in his Examiner column:

"...'Last
year 25 people were taken from us by violence,' the (NCGV) announcement
(said), also speaking for its 'partner organization,' the Coalition for
a Non Violent Durham, continued. '82 percent of victims, with cause
known, died from gunshot wounds.'

Of
the 19 individuals killed by criminals using guns, '13 had criminal
records here in NC,' Grassroots North Carolina noted, providing a
further breakdown showing eight of those were felons."

Because
violent criminals kill each other Bloomberg's anti-gun extremists want
YOU disarmed. Meanwhile, Bloomberg is protected by a small army of armed
guards. He believes he deserves to be effectively protected by
firearms, but you and your family do not.

According to the Washington Post, “after canvassing more than 300
homes and reviewing physical, ballistic, forensic, medical and
crime-scene evidence” and examining “Wilson’s personnel records, audio
and video recordings,” Justice concluded Wilson told the truth about
what happened that Saturday in Ferguson.

Officer Wilson is innocent of the endless libels and slanders in the
press and on television, and by street demagogues and the pack of liars
who, under oath, told a St. Louis County grand jury that Brown had his
hands up, crying, “Don’t shoot!” when Wilson cut him down.

The liars, however, will not be called out, nor will the perjurers be prosecuted.

Remembrance

To die for one’s country is not only an act of bravery, it is THE act of bravery. For soldiers, it is just an extension of their military career, a part of their duty. As leaders have asked their soldiers to sacrifice themselves for the good of the society, it is only right for leaders to go through the same motion. They should practice what they have preached.

As war is seen as a noble act, tu sat serves as redemption in case of defeat. It is also a way to tell the enemy: “You might have won the battle/war but you don’t deserve to win because you don’t have the chinh nghia (just cause).” And it is not only just cause: it is the moral belief that the cause they are fighting for deserves their total sacrifice.

My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.
